ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Avie, a Canadian UGC creator, thru-hiker, and climber based in British Columbia.
I grew up in the mountains around Nelson, British Columbia, where being outside was simply part of everyday life. Before I could walk, my parents were carrying me in a backpack on hiking and camping trips. That early connection to the outdoors grew into a lifelong passion for hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and long-distance backpacking. In 2024, I completed the Pacific Crest Trail solo, walking over 4,000 kilometres from the border of Mexico to Canada.
Alongside my outdoor pursuits, I hold a Bachelor of Social Work. My background in social work has shaped the way I understand the outdoors and the stories I choose to tell. Throughout my studies, I became particularly interested in land-based healing and the relationship between mental health and time spent outside. While outdoor adventure is often portrayed through summit photos and highlight reels, I am equally interested in the quieter conversations that happen behind the scenes.
I also share content around women's hormone health and PMOS (PCOS), drawing from my own lived experience navigating a condition that often feels misunderstood and overlooked. I share honest conversations about hormones, mental wellbeing, movement, nutrition, and the lifestyle changes that have helped me better understand how hormones affect both physical and mental health, and how time outdoors can support overall wellbeing.
As a creator, I am passionate about sharing an honest picture of life in the outdoors, one that celebrates challenge and adventure while also creating space for conversations about mental health, belonging, and what it means to build a meaningful relationship with the land. I create adventurous, grounded, story-driven content across outdoor, travel, wellness, and lifestyle spaces. I prioritize Leave No Trace principles in how I travel and create, and I am intentional about how I share locations. I avoid geotagging sensitive areas unless it supports education and responsible outdoor recreation.

TRAIL JOURNAL
A journal from time spent outside. The early starts, beautiful sunrises, changing weather, and everything in between. This is what it looks like when I’m out there.
Finished a solo thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, walking over 4000 kilometers from Mexico to Canada over four months.
A backpacking trip into Wyoming's Cirque of the Towers. We climbed the East Ridge of Wolf's Head, one of North America's 50 Classic Climbs.
Climbed Lobuche East in Nepal at 6,119m. Stepped onto the summit at 5:05am as the sun rose over Mount Everest (Sagarmatha).
Climbed Star Chek in Squamish, BC. A multi-pitch sport climb above the Cheakamus River.
At the summit of Victoria Peak on Vancouver Island with my best friend, Anju. The third highest peak on the island.
Sunrise at Mueller Hut in New Zealand. I lived in my van on the South Island for three months, climbing, hiking, and mountaineering along the way.
At the top of Larke Pass (5,106m) on the Manaslu Circuit in Nepal. A 3:45am start from Larkya Phedi to reach the pass while the snow was still hard enough to walk on. One of my favourite days of the trek, finishing in Bimthang.
Climbed Cat in the Hat, a multi-pitch trad climb in Red Rocks, Nevada with my climbing partner Anju. We were on a climbing trip through Red Rocks and Smith Rock in Oregon.
Hiked to Cobalt Lake in Bugaboo Provincial Park, then traversed to Applebee Dome.

My background in social work means I focus on connection. I pay attention to the person, the feeling behind the product, and the story that actually connects with people.
Niche Credibility
I spend a lot of time outside hiking, climbing, kayaking, and exploring. My content comes directly from those experiences, and that’s what makes it feel different.

The Unfiltered Side of AdventureThe grit.
Adventure is summit views and sunsets, but it's also exhaustion, bad weather, getting dirty, and long days outside.
Unedited. Unglamorous. Honest.
